It has been a long time since my last blog post. I have started a new job that I love but that means I have less time to blog.

With lots of kids graduating high school, I thought that I would post a new low cost computer that would work well as a gaming computer, work computer or a good system for someone going into computer science.

Let's start our build with the CPU.

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 750K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($79.50 @ Amazon)
The AMD Athlon is a 4 core 3.4GHz processor for only $80. This is an amazing price for the CPU but the really interesting part is that this is the K at the end of the 750. That means that the CPU is unlocked and that you can over clock the CPU to speeds as high as 4.5 GHz with a good CPU cooler.
